Mr Pallister said: 'The defendant goes on to say: "I have got baby gear as well. I have got adult baby gear. I have got nappies, dummies and bottles." '

The court heard how Moore began chatting online to another 15-year-old boy called Gary in March while he was on bail for the first offence.

Mr Pallister told the court Moore had been previously jailed for four years in 1988 for two offences of attempting sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13.

Moore, of Newcastle, admitted two counts of attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming at a previous hearing.

He was sentenced to 26 months in prison.

Elizabeth Muir, defending, told the court how Moore had learning difficulties and he had had a difficult childhood after being brought up in a children's home.

She told the court how he had kept himself completely out of trouble since his last offence 30 years ago.

Judge Tim Gittins told Moore: 'It is clear because of your life style that you have been a regular user of the internet to discuss and arrange bisexual contact, homosexual contact and fetish behaviour.

'That is fine, that is a matter for you, unless and until you start to try to engage in that behaviour with young people, some of whom need protecting from you and from themselves.'

Judge Gittins told Moore that he was satisfied there was a risk of him causing serious harm to other children by engaging in his sort of behaviour.

He told him: 'You have been able to keep out of trouble and away from young children for many years and you need to do that again for the indefinite future.'
